Chapter 133: The Extra Stranger Army
The air was filled with the smell of blood. The Empress Dowager looked sullen and said coldly, "Hand over the Imperial Seal immediately."
The enemies kept attacking. Manhuang and Yanyu gasped tiredly, but they defended the gate stubbornly and did not give an inch.
The fingertips of Yanyu were numb from exhaustion and it seemed that he could not even lift the sword. The young man looked gloomy and said, "If you plead guilty and give up resistance now, His Majesty will spare your life. What's the point of sending people to die?"
He and Manhuang have become numb from killing.
Killed until tired.
Killed to exhaustion.
But the enemies kept coming to take their lives.
The Empress Dowager said: "Power is always accompanied by sacrifice. If you want this supreme thing, you must exchange it with blood and corpses. Why would those who achieve great things care about this little loss?"
She dispatched the army and marched down: "Kill them for me, rush into the bedroom and get the jade seal."
The soldiers continued to charge, trampling over the corpses on the ground. Prince Hua An leaned over to the woman and whispered, "Grand Empress Dowager, I have obtained the imperial seal for you. Can you make me the prime minister of Dajing in the future?"
The Prime Minister is second only to the Emperor and above all others.
The Empress Dowager readily agreed.
Seeing his master nod, King Hua'an, dressed in military uniform, drew the sword from his waist and took off his usual disguise. A cold and murderous aura surrounded his body, causing Yanyu and Manhuang to look sideways slightly.
This person is actually hiding his incompetence.
If the two were in their normal state, King Hua An would not be their match at all, but the key point was that their physical strength was almost exhausted and they had a lot of wounds on their bodies, so it became difficult to stop him.
King Hua'an came to kill him, and Yanyu gritted his teeth and held the sword across his body to block the attack.
Manhuang rolled his eyes slowly, and suddenly he went crazy and started killing again.
Another person walked out of the bedroom, with a tall and beautiful figure like a jade.
It’s Minghe.
In his arms he held a square, crystal-clear jade seal.
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up: "Go, everyone, go and take the jade seal back for me!"
Except for the masked man standing by her side, everyone else rushed forward.
Outside the palace, the old general Wu was leading his troops to fight with the Empress Dowager's men. The old general obviously felt something was wrong.
Why is this guy killing more and more people?
This does not match the power we found out at the beginning. Where did the Empress Dowager get so many people?
All the remaining troops in the palace surrounded Emperor Jing's bedroom and made it impossible for anyone to escape.
Ming He raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings. His thin lips opened and closed, and he only uttered one word: "Kill——"
“Boom boom boom—”
A strange sound broke through the air, and an army fully armed with stern faces and heavy breathing, like the god of death, came to kill with long swords raised.
The murderous aura is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
This is the elite force that Jun Lin left for them. Although they are small in number, they are comparable to the Dajing Iron Cavalry.
This elite division was blocked outside by an inexplicably emerging force. Thanks to Manhuang and Yanyu's delaying time, they were able to wait for the army to attack them.
The rubbing sounds of armor were muffled. Following Ming He's orders, they could even deploy their own military formations and perform various killing moves, repelling the enemy with unstoppable force.
The killing never stopped and the enemy was defeated step by step.
After being welcomed into the house, Yanyu smiled shyly but harmlessly: "Sorry, I can only delay it here."
Trembling when walking.
You were so cruel when you killed people, can you please stop pretending to be a little lamb? Your smile now is so scary!
But in fact, Yanyu is introverted and shy.
Manhuang scratched the back of his head honestly and said dryly, "Sorry."
He and Yuyu have the same meaning.
Xingzhi: “…”
The look of you killing with red eyes is still vivid in people's memory.
Jun Xian didn't even have time to put away the medicine box: "Come over and treat the injured person first."
The two of them were obediently led away by Jun Xian.
Elite soldiers blocked the way outside the palace, giving them a moment's respite.
Xingzhi was suspicious: "Is there some new force sneaking in? This is different from what we found out at the beginning. When I entered the palace, I found many strangers, and they didn't seem to be from Jing country."
Ming He subconsciously held the fake imperial seal tightly in his arms, frowning slightly: "We are blocked here by the Empress Dowager and don't know the situation outside. Now we can only wait for General Wu to lead his troops to attack us."
Manchuan stroked his goat-bearded face with a solemn expression: "We could have won this battle, but after your majesty left for the battle, the situation suddenly changed. We might..."
The soldiers were defeated and killed.
These four words were not spoken aloud by Manchuan, but everyone understood them.
A large number of soldiers appeared inexplicably, and there were masters who were proficient in Qimen Dunjia. Even many people from the underworld were invited by her. There were also private armies secretly trained by princes and nobles to help. The current situation was a mess.
With a "bang", the door was smashed open.
The elite soldiers fell to the ground, and Minghe and others were shocked. How could it happen so quickly?
Several people looked outside and saw a strange army that suddenly appeared was fighting fiercely with the elite soldiers.
Minghe clenched his fists: "Are you talking about them?"
Xingzhi suppressed the gloom in his heart: "Yes."
However, Manhuang Kairi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly responded like a thunderbolt, blowing everyone to pieces: "It's the Vietnamese army."
"What?!"
Manhuang spoke with a sense of suffocation and oppression: "Before the Lord ascended the throne, she often studied the characteristics of the armies of the other four countries. At that time, she told me a lot, and I remembered some of it."
He continued, "These people outside are no different from the Vietnamese army in terms of their movements and attack methods."
Jun Yan was silent: "How could the Yue army sneak into the Jing Kingdom's palace? Did they collude with the Empress Dowager..."
Everyone fell silent.
This is no longer a simple abdication. They may not be able to leave the palace alive today.
The battle situation outside gradually became clear. The elite soldiers were seriously injured. The Empress Dowager was arrogant and said with a long-lost spirit: "Hand over the jade seal, or I will massacre the palace with blood."
The air in the house was like thick muddy water, unable to flow at all.
Everyone was silent.
The oppression seems to crush one's internal organs.
“…”
"I'll go."
Jun Xun stood up and everyone looked at him in surprise.
The man smiled calmly, mixed with bitterness: "I have some friendship with the Empress Dowager. If there is a chance, maybe I can use me to exchange for your lives."
“No!”
"You can't go!"
"No need to do that!"
There were all kinds of noises, and the Empress Dowager was smiling and ready to lead the army to massacre.
Apart from Manchuan, Junxun was the oldest among them. He looked at them with tolerance and generosity like an elder: "I can't wait any longer."
He wanted to take a gamble and see if he could use his own body to save Minghe and the others' lives.
Looking at his thin figure walking towards the door, everyone's throat was hoarse and they could not utter a word.
The Empress Dowager looked at the man who bore all her desires and raised her eyebrows sarcastically: "If you are willing to entertain me every night, I will spare their lives."
Jun Xun was like a fragile flower that would eventually be broken by the wind. His palms, covered by his sleeves, were dripping with blood, caused by the strong pinching of his fingernails.
Her long, thick and beautiful eyelashes trembled and fell down, and under the other person's mocking gaze, she said bitterly: "I wish..."
"You dare?!!"
A familiar voice carrying bone-gnawing anger came through the air, and everyone looked dazed. Jun Xun looked up at the familiar face running towards him, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
He murmured lovingly and almost devoutly: "Xiao Lin..."
